A Suspected cultist, Oluchi Igwedibia who is alleged to have participated in series of violent attacks in Rivers State, including the New Year massacre, has been killed during a joint operation by the Department of State Services, DSS and the Nigerian Army.

Igwedibia is the younger brother of late criminal mastermind, Don Waney who was killed by security agents three weeks ago in Enugu State.

Army authorities say the suspect who was amongst 32 others, declared wanted by the Rivers State Security Council, was eventually traced to his hideout in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State.

He was killed during the shootout that ensued while trying to evade arrest and his corpse transported to the headquarters of the Nigerian Army’s 6-Division in Port Harcourt.
